Partial Solar Eclipse (May 21 2012)


Partial Solar Eclipse

the Philippines is lucky to see the partial solar eclipse, and we astronomy lovers really prepare for this wonderful event. May 20 2012 me and my fellow astronomy students had an overnight at RTU, so we can prepare the event tomorrow morning, that night we are so unlucky about the weather, the plan is we will observe the night sky but suddenly its raining and it stop at around 11, so we still continue what the plan is, we observe the night sky but still cloudy the only visible star is VEGA from the constellation Lyra.. we practiced to assemble and disassemble the telescope at the dark place.. alignment and focusing of the telescope when our kuya miguel felt sleepy we decided to pack up and took some rest so we can have energy for the event.. May 21 2012... morning 5am.. im still awake didn't sleep because of spooky things.. when we went up to the 7th floor of our building (roof deck) we notice that it is still lock so the astro boys dismantle the door yipee! :)) now we are ready..

here are the pictures that i've taken...








my eyes are so lucky to see this partial solar eclipse
